Warning About BestWallet and Potential Crypto Scams

Introduction

The world of cryptocurrencies offers tremendous opportunities but also significant risks, particularly from fraudulent projects such as so-called "rug pulls." BestWallet, a non-custodial crypto wallet that promotes anonymity and user-friendliness without KYC verification, is at the center of controversies. Numerous users accuse BestWallet of promoting token presales that lose significant value after launch and exhibit characteristics of scam projects. This article examines the connections between BestWallet and tokens such as Solaxy, MindOfPepe, SnorterToken, BTCBull, BitcoinHyper, MemeIndex, SUBBD, and PepeUnchained, analyzes the evidence for scam suspicions, and provides recommendations for investors.

Connections Between BestWallet and the Tokens

BestWallet as a Platform for Presales

BestWallet actively promotes token presales through its app and social media, particularly via its X account (@BestWalletHQ). Examples include:

These connections demonstrate that BestWallet plays a central role in promoting and selling these tokens.

Similar Web Templates and Issuers

The websites of the examined tokens (MemeIndex, BTCBull, BitcoinHyper, SnorterToken, SUBBD, Solaxy, MindOfPepe, PepeUnchained) use nearly identical web templates based on the Angular framework. Recurring components include:

The similarity of the web codes, as visible in the provided images (see Appendix), suggests that these websites may have been created by the same group or using the same templates. Additionally, the issuers of these tokens are registered in the British Virgin Islands, often with similar company numbers and addresses:

Token Issuer Company Number Address
Solaxy Solaxy Tech Ltd. 2168357 Quijano Chambers, Road Town, BVI
MindOfPepe Elevra Labs 2168522 Quijano Chambers, Road Town, BVI
SnorterToken Meme Studio LAB Ltd. 2178664 Intershore Chambers, Road Town, BVI
SUBBD SUB3 GROUP LIMITED 2172616 Quijano Chambers, Road Town, BVI
BTCBull BCBLL Limited 2162145 Quijano Chambers, Road Town, BVI
BitcoinHyper Sentinum Ltd N/A (under Incorporation) Quijano Chambers, Road Town, BVI
MemeIndex Lunova Tech Pending Quijano Chambers, Road Town, BVI

The similar addresses, particularly Quijano Chambers, and the proximity of the company numbers suggest a possible connection between these projects, reinforcing suspicions of a coordinated operation. The fact that BitcoinHyper is listed as “under Incorporation” without a company number raises additional questions about transparency.

Non-Custodial Wallet and Registered Company

BestWallet is promoted as a non-custodial wallet, meaning users have full control over their private keys and thus their funds. There is no contradiction in a registered company operating a non-custodial wallet, as the company merely provides the software while users manage their keys. Nevertheless, negative user experiences and the connection to questionable presales raise doubts about BestWallet’s trustworthiness.

Evidence of Scam Suspicions

Price Losses After Presale

A recurring pattern among the tokens promoted by BestWallet is significant value loss after the presale. Tokens that have already been launched show similar trends, while others are still in the presale phase:

These price losses suggest that the projects may have been overvalued or that the initiators sold the tokens after launch, known as a “pump and dump.” Users have also reported that large wallets, possibly linked to the project initiators or BestWallet, dump tokens after launch, further depressing the price.

User Complaints

Users have voiced numerous complaints about BestWallet and the promoted tokens on platforms like Trustpilot and Reddit:

These complaints indicate serious issues with the reliability of BestWallet and the promoted projects.

Lack of Transparency

The teams behind these tokens are completely anonymous, and there is little to no reliable information about their projects or experience:

The anonymity of the teams and the lack of detailed roadmaps or technical documentation are classic red flags for potential scam projects.

Liquidity and Rug-Pull Suspicions

Some tokens, such as Solaxy, have provided liquidity on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, with a liquidity pool of approximately 1.2 to 1.5 million USD, which is locked to prevent rug pulls (GeckoTerminal). However, this is only a small portion of the 58 million USD raised in the presale, raising questions about how the remaining funds were used. For other tokens, such as MindOfPepe, there is less information about liquidity, increasing the risk of scams. Users have reported that presale funds did not flow into liquidity and that tokens are often listed only on DEX with low liquidity, making selling difficult.

Analysis of BestWallet’s Role

BestWallet appears to play a central role in promoting these tokens by listing them in its app under “Upcoming Tokens” and encouraging users to buy through the wallet. However, the wallet itself is also criticized:

The connection between BestWallet and these tokens, combined with negative user experiences, suggests that the platform may profit from the presales while investors suffer losses. There are also speculations that BestWallet may receive tokens for promotion, which are then dumped after launch, potentially explaining the price collapse.

Recommendations for Investors

Given the evidence, investors should take the following precautions:

  1. Thorough Research (DYOR): Verify a project’s legitimacy by looking for transparent teams, detailed whitepapers, independent audits, and verifiable progress.
  2. Avoid Hype: Be skeptical of projects promising high returns or exclusive benefits, especially if promoted by platforms like BestWallet.
  3. Secure Wallets: Use established wallets like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet, which have a better track record and fewer complaints.
  4. Check Liquidity: Ensure a project provides sufficient locked liquidity on trusted exchanges to minimize the risk of a rug pull.
  5. Caution with Presales: Invest only in presales with clear roadmaps, verifiable progress, and transparent teams. Avoid projects with anonymous developers or vague whitepapers.

Conclusion

The investigation suggests that BestWallet is involved in a series of token presales that exhibit characteristics of scam projects. The combination of significant price losses, anonymous teams, similar web templates, similar issuer addresses, and negative user experiences points to a high risk for investors. While some tokens like Solaxy have taken measures such as locked liquidity, the overall picture remains concerning. The repeated patterns of price losses and lack of transparency, coupled with the issues with BestWallet itself, make it a risky platform for investments. Investors should exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough research before investing in projects associated with BestWallet.
